Sorry to revive this dead thread.

My wipers are louder than thunder when i use them. Thing is the more water on the screen the louder the noise. If screen is dry it's less noisy.

Can someone please give me advise on oem or aftermarket parts i need to buy to get it silent?

How old are the blades and what brand are they? Maybe they are old and worn. I use Bosch Icons or Rain-X Latitude blades and don't have any issues. You can also try to clay bar the windshield or use a product called Glass Scrub to remove crud and particles to make the windshield smoother.
